Pakistan has agreed to utilize Andy Pycroft as match referee for a forthcoming bilateral cricket match against the UAE. The decision follows a previous apology from Pycroft regarding his involvement in a handshake dispute with India prior to the event. The dispute centered on concerns regarding potential protocol violations and cultural sensitivities. Pycroft has acknowledged his role in the initial tension and has committed to ensuring a respectful and appropriate environment for the match. The match has been postponed, and the schedule is being adjusted to accommodate the revised referee.
